Anime Weekend Atlanta is about a month away. Anyone here going?

Waiting to hear about the usual "Send Hayley's friends" to Japan contest scam.

>>9160350
You mean Hayley Becker or Hayley Kuma?

>>9160109
>>what are you looking forward to?
honestly? hanging out with friends I haven't seen in a while. They moved away for grad school and are now moving closer for their job and I'm excited to have them to hang out with again.
>>are you cosplaying?
I am, still a bit in the air about what, but stuff I already have.
>>are you cosplaying?
Pre-plan? I guess? Mark the things you def want to do to or experience. maybe make alarms for it.
time in the dealers room can fly by without you realizing if you're a dealer's room shopper (I'm guilty of this), this is esp true if you're a cosplayer, you might get stopped a bunch and it'll take much more time.
>>thoughts on the con?
AWA is my fav Atlanta con and i think on of the best in the SE. If nothing else, people watching there is fun.

>going to Anime Drunk Fratcon Weekend

seriously this con is garbage, everyone is wasted or high at this con. Good luck trying to sleep at this con staying at the hotel attached to the con so fucking annoying. There so many parties going on you can't ever fucking hear yourself think.

>>9160109
>what are you looking forward to?
The cosplay, the crowds, the panels at AWA are okay but nothing I'd go out of my way for honestly. Hopefully the dance is better this year
>are you cosplaying?
Cirno
>advice for new comers?
Don't fucking stop in the hallway, also the bars that are at the con center have surprisingly good food but avoid the gift shop at all cost. Also bring a portably usb cell charger because finding an outlet at this con is like finding a winning lotto ticket
>thoughts on the con?
My favorite next to Nekocon, some of the staff is pretty chill. Night staff can be odd at times though.

>>9160865
>getting a hotel AT the con
>not expecting this
I will say that AWA has more drunks than I have seen at most cons(excluding nekocon), but I've never had an issue with anyone. If you do just tell staff and they take care of it, that is, if there is an issue.

Hell yeah. I drive five hours to get there, and it's always well worth it.

>>9160865
>avoid the gift shop at all cost
Why? What happens there?

>>9160109
>what are you looking forward to?
The cosplay, maybe one of the concerts, and I'd like to check out the Meta fashion show. I'm not really into Lolita but I'd definitely like to see something new from my cons.
>are you cosplaying?
Yep! Two iDOLM@STER costumes and...not sure what else. Someone was talking to me about doing Fire Emblem: Fates stuff but I'm not really sure. I might just bring those two and go casual for most of the time.
>advice for new comers?
Last year, they had food trucks in the dealer's hall. The lines were long but the pay-off was surprisingly worth it. Also, this con has more thirstier dudes than any other con I've been to, and I'm average at best. It can get a little annoying when you just want to enjoy things without someone hitting on you, but as long as you're polite but firm, you should be fine.
>thoughts on the con?
I went last year and had the time of my life. Hoping it wasn't beginner's luck.

Any lolita or itabag meet ups planned?

>>9162317
My little sister is doing her first lolita. Plz no bully.

>>9161548
It's just a big rip off. There is a Walmart and target not too far away if you need something

>>9161642
>I went last year and had the time of my life. Hoping it wasn't beginner's luck.

Last year was a blast, I went as space dandy and met up with like 3 space dandies 2 girls and 1 other guy. Holy shit I never had so much fun.

>>9160426
Neither. I think they're talking about "Hayrii Bear". AWA sent her to Japan last year I think to participate in some idol contest and now her and Sara have some kind of idol panel for their dance group, Danzoo-Dash

FYI anyone looking for a room respond to this post. 130 for the weekend my room has an extra bed so it's not floor space. I'm about a mile from the con but ubering daily.

Just throwing it out there since last time I roomed with someone but this year I can actually afford a hotel, it was just cheaper to get 2 queen beds for some reason

>what are you looking forward to?
Cosplaying, panels, contest, fashion show, dealer's/AA, being in a closer hotel finally, going to their rave for the first time due to aforementioned closer hotel, playing Overwatch in the game room if they have it

>advice for new comers?
Don't wait until Saturday to get your badge, or you're gonna have a bad time.

Anyone from South Georgia going. Lowndes County here. Ive never been to this event, but there were a few from my county from /a/ that went to the Kizumonogatari showings

Is there a cgl meetup planned? I don't remember if there was one last year, I got carried away at the con.

What's the best group on Facebook to advertise photoshoots at AWA?

>>9162859
Sorry, I should specify -- to offer (free) photoshoots.

Okay so who is actually going to the tea party? I still haven't decided on it.

>>9162878
My friends circle and I are not. We decided that price doesn't justify the experience.

>>9162878
I decided to go. It's expensive but I figured I'd give it a shot since I'm coming from out of state. I also had fun at the Galaxxxy mixer last year so I figured why not.

From what I hear though, it doesn't seem like a lot of people are going. Only one other girl in my comm mentioned she was going.

>>9163022
More chances to win the raffles then.

Anyone from GCSU going?

>>9162878
I'm skipping it. Too expensive

>>9162863
Well, probably the AWA group.

I want pics with you!

>>9162317
There's a lolita meet but it was pretty bad last year

>>9163423
How so? Deets plz

Anyone know who's in charge of planning the lolita tea party this year and fashion show? I didn't go to the Baby one but I remember the shit storm. Is it a different planner this year?

>>9162318
Aw, bless her. I hope she has fun.

I've always heard this is a decent con with lots to do, Big in size, and it's not too far from where I live in Tennessee.

Gumi, Stocking, and Space Patrol Luluco
>advice for new comers?
Most of the good stuff happens in the main room (under the escalators) or in the courtyard.
>thoughts on the con?
Always worth the four hour trip.

My friend was driving home from this con last year and got t-boned on the interstert. She's okay, but she still = wheelchair.

If you see a Fionna in a wheelchair, come say hi!

>>9160924
>Cirno

The world needs more cirno cosplayers

>>9163800
Yes it is...but it is someone who has never run or done events before. It will likely be a giant shitstorm.

>>9162317
Currently wondering this too, I'd be down for a itabag meet!

You should ask their security head Paul Liistro who he works for.

He apparently has told people everything from the FBI to the bomb squad, but I hear he is just in some bogus retail or desk job.

>>9163924
The one that's always crowded with photographers and stuff with the fountain thing right?

>>9163894
The schedule for panels doesn't usually go up until like a week or two out from the con but once it does just go through and see what interests you and you can peek in to see how they are. Don't feel like you have to go to a lot though just walking around is really fun too.

>what are you looking forward to?
Everything but hanging out with con friends is up there.
>are you cosplaying?
Yes, hopefully Arabian Rin Matsuoka, Maid Rin Matsuoka and Atsushi Mursakibara. I don't have any of them totally done yet though so if something awful happens I may end up not cosplaying RIP
>advice for new comers?
If there are events you're interested in don't forget to go to them, set a timer or something. I originally came to see ZUN in 2013 but ended up totally missing him because it was my first con and I got too caught up in wandering around.
>thoughts on the con?
The only con I've been to desu but always a blast and filled with friendly people. The price of traveling through two states and buying hotel rooms sucks though.

I may just quit. Shitty job. I'm a-comin', AWA!

>>9164143
Hey, its the salty rape fucker from the Facebook group that Paul told off. how you doing buddy? your ass still sore?

>>9164097
Is it the girl who makes all the posts about it? Because she's a grade A ita and I've never understood why she's even a part of the community.

I thought I was going, but my friend is being a cunt. I can't help you if you don't return my texts and it's too far of a drive to go alone.

>>9164372
Yes, that's where all the cool kids hang!

>>9164844
How far you gotta go?

I thought I wasn't going to go (fucking national guard drill just has to be that weekend) but after much deliberation I have decided to say fuck it and go at least for Friday! I'm super excited now and am planning last minute cosplays. I'm thinking about doing Minnie May from Gunsmith Cats since my boyfriend wants to do Rally!

>>9162317
I'm doing an itabag panel! Time is TBA right now though. Keep an eye on the itabag facebook group.

>tfw car caught on fire midway through the drive to ATL

Yeah, I had to sell it to a GA dealership, bum a ride home after the con, and get a new car. Otherwise, great con.

Anyone got history taking public transportation or what not around Atlanta

>flying in
>subway/lightrail doesn't go up to cobb

I'd rather not do a bus, but don't want uber to rip my wallet a new asshole.

>>9166897
Yo, I live here and have epilepsy so I exclusively use public transportation. What questions do you have?

File: route.png (281KB, 413x929px) Image search: [Google]

281KB, 413x929px

>>9166949
What the buses are like are my only real question, I am from up much farther north east of GA and buses are like a last resort there.

The options I were considering were
1. Take the red/gold line from the airport then uber from the station to the hotel/con
2. Do pic related and use full on public transportation

My flight is getting in around 3:30 so it would be about 4:30-5ish by the time I would get to the end of the light rail

>>9166968
Same anon as above, I actually live near the airport and will be doing the full public transport route. The buses are average city buses and I find that the times they list are generally accurate, and since art center station is the beginning of the route (and con is at the very end) and it's right before the business day gets out you shouldn't have to worry about having space/difficulty moving your bags.

>>9166986
Nice, thanks for the heads up!

>>9166897
If you don't mind, I will glady pick you up anon. Save you money etc.

>>9165193
>national guard drill weekend
jesus of all the weekends to drill

>>9166897
your wallets asshole must be pretty tight if Uber can rip it with how pathetically cheap the rates are.

>>9166897
Don't forget you can always take the subway as far as you can and then use Uber, especially if you have one of those promo codes. I did that last year when I took the Greyhound.

>tfw I can't go this year because of being new college student
It's going to suck hardcore when I get my grant money refund but no conventions until summer.

>4 more weeks

I am so readyprobably going to double up my workouts though

I'm going to guess that the fashion show models have already been notified?

>>9167284
Unless you like modeling clothes designed by a pedophile, do you really care if they have been notified or not?

>>9167458
The brands this year are Meta and 50% Dangerous so not seeing the issue. Unless you're talking about the Vic collab with 50% Dangerous but I don't think that will be a big part of the show so I don't care.

>>9167284
I have not received anything.

We're not going to the Tea this year. Too expensive and Meta does not interest us. If was was AP or BTSSB that would be different.

>>9163022
I only found one other girl in my comm that is going. Not a lot of interest in this.

>>9167833
I haven't heard of anyone I know receiving anything but that's just people I know. It's going on two weeks now and I'm wondering if AWA/the designers/whoever are just being slow (which is possible considering the tea party wasn't announced until not too long ago) or if I just didn't make it.

Is Saturday a good day to go?

>>9168829
gonna let you know, it doesnt matter which con you're talking about, saturday is almost always the best day to go.

>>9167756
>just a collab.
Oh you poor naive little frill. 50% blood on the dance floor looking wannabe is being funded by Vic.

Tables posted http://awa-con.com/events/artists-alley/

WOW there are a lot of artists. I've never sold at such a large convention before. I hope I can stand out.

>>9169283
I want to see your art!

>>9169352
You probably don't, but here it is. I'm a crafter selling mainly animals tails and ears, some with lights. My tails with lights are my biggest sellers since people are looking for something to have at the rave. Cat tails sell well too because of the anime neko thing. Then mainly furries buy the regular fox and wolf tails.

If anyone comes by my table and mentions this post, I'll give you free candy and snacks.

>>9169656
I'm not into animal tails and ears normally but those light up tails are really cool.

>>9169656
Can I see your cat years? I'm actually interesting in buying lol

>>9169691
These are my god-awful cat ears. I only sell them for $8, so people buy them. I don't even sell them on etsy anymore because of how terrible they are. Right now, while I have time before AWA, I've been trying to make new ears that actually look good and add LED lights to them, but I'm having trouble getting it just right. If I don't figure it out soon, I'll be stuck with either selling no ears, or crappy ears.
I honestly hate headbands and clips, wish there was some 3rd option for ears. Thought about maybe doing cat ear hats instead. Don't know.

>>9169656
I guess I will be expecting people running around with their asses on fire.

>what are you looking forward to?
Hanging with friends, drinking, partying, meeting new chikas

Yep: Jinpei, Ness, Luffy
>advice for new comers?

>thoughts on the con?
Been going for 12years, still my favorite con.

>>9169656
I am a sucker for anime neko bullshit and attend festivals and shows year round. I will be stopping by for sure! <3

>what are you looking forward to?
Cosplaying with my best friend, even if he just needs to get a tracksuit for it. Merchandise for sure. It's the week after my birthday so I'm hoping I get some spending money from my family.
>are you cosplaying?
Yes, as Okita Souji (from Fate), oni Rem from re:zero, Colonel Violet from Dragon Ball, and I'll probably end up in a few backups if I have time.
>advice for new comers?
I don't really know, it'll only be my third year and I'm in control of the room for once with one at the main hotel so I'm excited for that. I guess you guys should know that haggling is possible. A friend of mine got the SDCC exclusive SSJ2 Gohan figuarts for like $120 which is apparently a steal.
>thoughts on the con?
Definitely my favorite con, though I'm in Florida so there's not much competition. It's the only con I've been to that has more than like six Type-Moon cosplayers so that's awesome.

>>9170763

>are you cosplaying?
I'll be cosplaying as Blue Tundra from Shimoneta. Yay for easy last minute cosplays!
>advice for new comers?
Get yourself one of those external phone battery charger things. They are a lifesaver. Trying to find your hotel in Atlanta without a GPS at 1 in the morning is not fun.
>thoughts on the con?
Well it's the only big con I've ever been to so my opinion may be biased but I think it's really fun. I've never not enjoyed it before.

Anyone know where some bank ATMs or places with cash back? I tried to find some with Google Maps last year but it led me to the middle of the mall parking lot.

>>9171503

They mentioned how great that it's an easy last minute cosplay, so I'll answer that for them and say no.

>>9178101
Oh it's means you confirmed. Ok.

>>9160865
This. I have gone the last 4 years and I am terribly dissapointed every year.

>>9178119
There's a shopping mall within walking distance right behind the hotel that AWA is held in just past the sky bridge. You don't have to just eat subway and food truck food all weekend. I may have not realized that before and just had subway all weekend because it was in the hotel.

>>9178119
Honestly?
Like others have said in the thread
>Bring a portable USB charger
You will need it, some that will recharge your phone 2-2.5x times are on Amazon for 20 bucks. YOU WILL NEED IT.
>Eat offsite
Aside from one or two bars which unless you sit at the bar and drink, you'll be waiting a while for food. Even if you sit at the bar, you'll wait a while. There is a small strip mall less than a mile away and uber is pretty good.
>Expect to be bumpped around
The second floor gets crowded as shit towards the dealers hall
>come early and stay late
I did 10am-230pm(con) 300-430(rest eat cosplay fix up) 4pm-2/3am?(dance/party/etc)
>there will be drunk people
Last year I ran into a lot and a good amount of the age group going to this con is 21+, just tell people to fuck off if they need to be told it. This con has 4ish bars attached to it.
>Cosplay shoots near the floor elevators
and finally
DONT STOP IN THE DAMN HALLWAY, this con only has like 1 of them connecting the first floors together aside from walking outside. Last year it rained so it sucked if people started stopping.

Other than that basic cosplay/con rules apply
ask before taking a photo, don't be weird, and have fun

>>9178175
Cumberland mall has pretty good mall food. They also have some nice stores if you need a break from the con for a bit. Just be mindful about your cosplay. I've heard stories of employees giving cosplayers shit.

>>9178129
Well, what do you think you should stop doing?

mfw i heard theres going to be a deadpool photoshoot.
seriously though, it's a fucking anime convention, find a better cosplay to do than the one's that's been done before a million times, hell, get an actual anime cosplay or stay the fuck out.

>>9178699
Ughh I'm done with deadpool

I'm looking forward to groping lolita and cosplayer tits and asses like I do every year.

>>9178119
Also keep in mind AWA's convention center is pretty damn big and a bit confusing to navigate for the first day so take your time figuring out where shit is, especially if you have photoshoots or meet-ups planned somewhere.

>>9178370
There's a Steak and Shake nearby that, if I recall correctly, does unlimited pancakes after midnight for $4.

>>9178370
Really? I've never been given shit about being in cosplay before. I remember one year my boyfriend needed more eyelash glue for his false lashes so we went to Macy's (or at least I think it was Macy's idk some department store with a makeup section) to get some and the people there were super nice and really excited to see us all dressed up.

>>9178370
Seconding what >>9178972 said. When it rained last year I went over in OTT lolita to buy an umbrella and went into several stores trying to find one for cheap and got positive responses the entire time. I think they're used to it all by now.

>>9178981
I can see some stores depending on if people are coming in with masks on or large costumes that bump merch

>>9178992
Well yeah, most malls do have rules against masks and if you're being a nuisance you'll get treated badly but just showing up in costume/Jfashion and shopping like a normal person won't get you random hate like the anon further up has heard tale of.
I mean the cashier I talked to even asked if I was part of the event at the convention center so they're very used to it by now. So much so that in the food court I barely saw anyone 'normal' give attendees a second glance. The only issue I saw was the typical giggling teen girls talking about how 'weird' everyone was.

>>9178981
>>9179036
>>9178370
Went into the mall last year quite a few times and everyone was pretty cordial. There were more than a dozen cosplayers and lolitas in the food court so I don't think anyone really paid any mind.

Just don't be a pain in the ass for them and I'm sure you'll be fine.

>>9178180
There are actually two hallways. Except none of you retards ever realizef5 about the one downstairs.

So I know the Meta e-mails went out, but did the 50% Dangerous ones?

Anyone know any good photographers coming to this con? I'm getting one shoot with a guy I've worked with before, but I'd like to get my second one with someone new.

Id love to show you guys, but the costume is in the mail like I mentioned. It said delivered, so I should be able to pick it up Monday though!
I had the tail and ears commissioned by a fur suit maker and I think the tail may be a -little- too big, but I love it regardless.
It's stupid heavy though so I don't know how I'm gonna be able to survive walking and doing stuff in it lol

Super ghetto pic because I'm about to get to bed, but here's what the tail and ears look like. Haven't figured exactly how to harness the tail yet, and pictures makes it look smaller than what it is.
And I know it's kinda more of a Forrest brown rather than a reddish brown, but does anyone know if it's be possible to gently spray paint some reddish brown on it? Is that a thing? Also going to go on a hard cut for the next two weeks before AWA so I can be in pique shape.

Okay so it turns out the Dragon Ball/Z/GT/S shoot is on Saturday at noon so I'm going to try to make it to that. I may end up leaving in the early afternoon sunday so I'll probably just throw on a kigu. If you want to get pictures Thursday or Friday night I don't mind changing into it since it's pretty comfortable and fun for an evening cosplay.

>>9162748
The cgl meetup has been at the cheesecake factory every year, this'll be the fourth!
Saturday at 5pm work for people?

>>9181348
I'll be at a photoshoot so that's a no for me. If you guys are meeting up later in the evening as well I could show up but I'll be helping in the dealers room until they close.

>>9180977
Please wear a wig. You have gross looking hair

>>9180977

Obviously I'll be wearing a wig, my hair looks nothing like hers. Plus I literally mentioned I was about to hit the hay but I wanted to show my tail and ears.
>>9181529
Because I try to send "sexy pics" by holding on a squirrel tail, wearing baggy basketball shorts as well as bed hair since I had just gotten up from my bed to take a pic. Nice try though, 3/10 made me respond

Is there a way to check the hotels en masse to see if they have anything available? I just need Friday night, the other days i have covered.

Is there a way I can check all the hotels in the area en masse for availability, with flexible bed ranges, etc.. Navigating each of these hotel sites with their super annoying UIs is giving me cancer.

>>9181541
Like bed hair and a squirrel tail every stopped an attention whore from posing.

>>9181872
Why is /cgl/ like this?

Make people afraid of posting their shit?

>>9181894
Because being anon means you can say w/e you want to people. I don't think that anon has ill intentions. They're just being mean just to be mean. Most of the time we ignore people like that.

You'd almost think that the fact I'm going as Makoto, in her battle outfit too (not her school uniform, mind you) , would have made you realize I'm already in your terms an "attentionwhore" lmao

Literally that blacked out sensor bar and gym shorts covered more than the actually cosplay will cover lol

>>9181894

Because it's the truth? Who the fuck takes a picture topless and then posts it on cgl? Are you going to censor the undertit during the con? No. I know this board is infested with Tumblr sjws but fucking seriously comon. You spent more god damn time editting your tits out then putting a sports bra or some other shit on. Why the hell would you spend extra effort edifying thr photo just to show off a tail? fucking comon, most of us are not that stupid.

Because I just got out of bed and I sleep topless with shorts on. It's easier to snap a pic real quick with the main stuff I wanted to show rather than stop and find a bra and then a shirt. So I went back to bed and scribbled it out, because my bed is comfy.
You getting a little too salty for no reason, anon.
But if you think people get off to giant sensor bars like you're implying, then oh well not my problem. Nor my concern

My boyfriend might be a tinshinhan with curly red hair because he is not dedicated to this lol.

>>9183082
Nice, man they're such a cute couple. I miss her. But yeah, awesome, Saturday it is then. Sucks that the Type-Moon shoot is at literally the same time but the panel for that is Friday so everyone will be cosplaying Fate then anyway.

As long as her outfit equals the same amount as a typical bikini, she will not be kicked out. From the stock picture, it is fine.

I dont appreciate fake calls so...

>>9183130
That one is not for sale, but I do have a Makoto print and was thinking about doing another one for AWA. Any requests for what you'd like to see with Makoto?

>>9182903
What do you think this is Momocon or some shit?

>>9183162
I'm a big fan of anime characters that work out, so having one of her working out or liftin' weights would be amazing.
Also because I'm a huuuuge gym person lol

>>9183078
Walk in is less of a weight honestly
>>9182309
Aside from Nekocon up north AWA is probably the biggest party con out there

>>9183409
Dude you need to go to MAGfest. Literally nothing but party.

>>9183078
Honestly pre-registering feels like paying with your soul for a cheap discount. It's definetely not worth it now.

Last year pre register folks had to waste like 1-2 hrs in line past 6PM, it was absurd.

It's why I never preregister for AWA.

>>9183409
Neko is definitely not a party con

>>9183827
It's ok I don't party either. To be honest I actually do like parties but I never get invited to any at cons because I guess I am not good at making friends with random people. Most of my con interactions are people asking me for photos. I don't really care though cons are fun anyways.

>>9184614

Well, I just don't really do parties, I mean my idea of a party is at most a lan party or friends hanging out.

Cosplaying and meeting like minded fans is what I go to conventions for.

Tips on getting into one of these parties? I'm a girl and confirmed cute through compliments and the such. I've never been to one because I'm really shy.

>>9183053
sounds like a plan!

>>9184752
At the point where I want to give up, but already put so much effort into it, that I can't.

Not turning out exactly perfect. Its not bad, but not perfect either. Even though its not a complicated costume, I feel kinda annoyed that I'm spending a lot of time and money on a costume that isn't perfect.

Its a cosplay from a mmorpg, tree of savior, I was much more hyped of the game then than I am now, Still love the game, but not as hyped about it as I was. Oh well, either way, I'm gonna get it done. I just can not find the right boots though...

I still have so much to do for my cosplay. That and I just recently ordered my fabric for it so it'll get here by Monday hopefully. I'm working on patterning everything out perfectly until then and getting the prop together so it'll be streamlined once the fabric gets here. Still freaking out of course. At least my other three cosplays are already done.

>>9184764
Also very naive. Literally just painted a huge target to get raped on your back.

>>9184923

1) Most people aren't scum

2) Maybe she knows her limits and won't get blackout drunk

>>9184925

1) Its a shame the scum get to them first usually.

2) Didn't realize you had to be blackout drunk to get raped.

>>9184929
We seem to be on the same page then. It doesn't matter if she's blackout drunk or walking around the con sober, she could still get raped if there's a rapist around that wants to commit the act. So wanting to party doesn't make a difference.

>>9184936
Except she just put out a flag that attracts the fuckers like flys to shit. the only thing saving her from them at this point is we are the only ones replying and no one has tried slipping in pretending to be helpful.

here's my reply. if they want you, they will invite you in person. never take an internet party invite.

>>9184764
If your shy and want to take it easy you can party with us. 1 guy 2 girls and we just get drunk and have a good time.

>>9184822
Have you tried a dsw or amazon? At this point you could probably just paint the bottom of the soles gray.

Where are all the sex parties this year?

First time on this board.
Usually a /b/k/o/an/out/pol/ kind of guy.
40/m, hot rod mechanic so I know colors and textures.
I own multiple seeing machines.
I'm curious how/what I could present myself as at a comicon (raised in San diego- never went).

Again, just curious because atl is just a couple hours away now.
Pic is cayman (alligators little cousin)

>>9183827
Eh don't worry about it. I don't party either. I'm always the grandma of my group and end up passing out but I've never had a bad time at AWA.

>>9185037
How many of you are actually female and not just guys saying they identify as female?

>>9184752
Surprisingly not terrible. I got my main one done last week and I'm on the final stretch of the second one. My "stretch goal" looks pretty attainable. I just have to find some motivation to get cracking on it.

There's honestly more girls on this board than guys imo.

Will the GA/SC clowns be kidnapping people at AWA?

>>9186185
This is the south. I seriously don't think those clowns are gonna keep doing this very long. One of them is going to get shot.

Not going this year!
Thing is someone always begs me to go last minute, offers to pay for my ticket or drive my, just wants company. Ugh.
I hate the dumb staff. Every year they are dumber than the staff before.
And the stupid doors. Don't lean your head out to yell to your friend to get your pruse from the car. CAUSE THEN YOU HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY OUT AND WALK BACK AROUND.
Literally had a staff member force me out the door cause i leaned around it as it was closing and then went to step back. It was not crowed at the time at all, momentary ghost town, bitch said she'd take my badge if i didn't walk out and back around to come back to my cellphone that was charging in the wall by the glass doors. Glad it didn't get stolen while i walked around.

>>9186707
The "Cramped" is really my only vice about Dragoncon.
I feel like AWA and momo I can actually breath at in comparison to running through the Dcon marriot lol.

>>9188432

It's not only that.

But you have to walk A LOT at dragoncon and it's hot as fuck.

I clocked in 27 miles walked over this last dcon.

Makes wearing costumes painful as fuck unless you wanna just sit around.

Momocon/AWA are all indoor and comfortable for the most part, so I'm looking forward to that.

>>9160865
1. While I'm usually an advocate of staying at the hotel connected to the convention center at cons, I wouldn't at AWA. Some of the rooms open up directly onto an area used for the convention, and that should be an automatic flag for people expecting quiet. The Wydham Galleria is considerably cheaper, an easy drive away, and very high quality.

2. Every year, at every con, there has been an increase in people openly intoxicated and partying. I don't know why they would pay this much to do it at a con instead of doing it at home for free, but that's not the point. The only thing stopping this is heavier moderation from the con-staff. As far as hotel-room parties go, that's always going to be a crapshoot. Sometimes you get stuck next to a room of quiet and reserved con-goers, and other times you're inbetween two rooms full of Belushi-wannabes.

>>9186567
Yeah, the staff manages to drop IQ points every year, it's kinda terrifying. As far as the door thing is concerned, I've never had that happen. I've been going in and out those damned things since AWA has been in that building and they haven't said shit. Guess you found the one missing more than just a handful of her marbles.

>>9189757
3 hour drive, but it's 4 hours in time (time zones are a bitch)

From what I see on Facebook, a lot of people have con friends across the country so this is the one chance they have to party together.

got an email from artist alley awa
>Power and Internet for your table are available through our venue, the Galleria. Power starts at $85 (for a 10 amp, 120V power strip) and Internet starts at $90 (for a 2MB connection).

They're joking, right? That is absolutely ridiculous.

>>9190378
The power is a little ridiculous but the internet I can believe. It's probably imposed by the venue. I staff another con and I remember our venue was wanting each artist and dealer to pay around $100 extra EACH for internet and wanted us to pay another couple thousand for our internet. Personally I would use your phone as a hotspot or something like that. If the venue gives you a hard time tell them that you are legally allowed to do that. I'm pretty sure that hotels and convention centers are not allowed to force you to use their internet. (Although someone can correct me if I'm wrong.)

As for power, I don't know what to tell you, senpai.

>>9190430
the hotel won't give you an issue a out using your hot spot, the cell towers Wil however. They are overloaded to hell and back.


With a laptop and a router though, I can share that 90 dollar internet connection amongst you.

>>9190378
>>9190430
They are serious, if you really need internet and don't have a cellphone that can act as a data hotspot, you can buy or rent little wifi hotspots from many cellphone retailers or online for a fraction of the price if you're only using the internet a little bit (i.e. no bittorrent and youtube binge).

As for power, if you can't power your devices off of a portable battery, you're pretty boned.

>Tfw coming fromLA

I mean fuck the west coast but this con is my favorite con ever

>>9190714

Mad respect to you guys coming from so far out!

>>9190674
are you new to the convention scene or just dense?

have you ever tried to use a cell network for anything during a con?

>>9190939
What do you think the convention is going give you for that $90 fee? you think they're going to give you a T1 line? No they're going to give you the same overtaxed wifi that everyone else is using. The question is are you going to pay a lot of money for crappy wifi or a little money for crappy wifi?

>>9190430
>>9190674
I'm going to have to hope my phone can stay alive for 10 hours straight, and hope my phone actually gets signal and isn't incredibly slow so I can take credit cards. A competent venue would make sure their vendors have what they need to actually function.

>>9190948
They should have dedicated wifi for the vendors and staff. Preferable free since the staff would benefit it from it just as much as the vendors.

>>9190952
lol give something away for free? That's not how a venue makes money. >:3

>>9190951

bring portable batteries with you, they go for around ~$30 on amazon, should help a lot.

>>9190951
Why not get a powerbank from Amazon? You can get 2-3 full charges from the ones that cost between $20-30.

>>9190948
Confirmed for dense as shut.

the Wi-Fi connection is rationed out so the same shit with the cell towers dosent happen. 2mb is fine to run payment systems compared to not being able to connect period. Just because you cant online stream your boring ass fan art booth doesn't mean the Wi-Fi is crappy.

>>9190952
It was tried, the vendors abused it. now we have to pay.

>>9190369
How do you do fellow defender of freedom. Which branch? Navy here.

Makoto Nanaya cosplay finally came in, and just looking at it before even trying it on I know it won't work.
Don't ever buy from CosplayHouse guys, this shit took four months to "make" and the thigh high socks are fucking mid calf socks (which actually made me laugh)
But in all, this is a good thing because I'm inspired to make my own Makoto Nanaya Cosplay and use nicer material and shit and learn how to sew. This is gonna be my first hand made cosplay and I'm gonna use this bullshit one as a reference but hopefully I can work hard and enter in a contest for the first time ever.

>>9191663
Oh, Navy here as well. Where are you stationed? NAS JAX here

>>9192033
I learned my lesson on buying cosplays recently too.


I'd only ever done super easy normal-tier characters and I wanted to cosplay Krul Tepes. Found the perfect cosplay on ebay,-- loved how the details were, loved the ruffling and the proportions looked great.

I get it and it's complete shit, completely different than the picture. The buttons were falling off, the material was like a shitty haloween costume, and the sizing wasn't as they listed. I took my accurate measurements to make sure I ordered the right thing.
Currently disputing this nightmare with paypal.

>>9192033
Thigh-highs are super important.

Same, I ordered my Kaga cosplay from an EBay seller once and it took about a month and came out EXACTLY as pictured. It was perfect. Only thing is I lost a little weight before it got here and the skirt was a little loose. But Cosplayhouse? A entire website dedicated to cosplay? Absolutely shit
Told them I'm gonna leave a shit review and I'm asking for a refund on the props I didn't receive yet, hopefully they'll give it to me.
I'll take pics of this shit when I get home

Tragic "just got off work hair" but oh well. I definitely need to cut for this cosplay, and get more muscley defined. Thigh highs are my own, again, cosplay came with mid calf socks hahahah
Also I need to figure out how to keep my boobs in place and from popping out, maybe a elastic band?
Cosplay didn't even come with her boots or arms sleeves or fingerless gloves, but instead orange and black gloves with fingers? (Because I asked them to send the costume because they said their still making the props, supposedly) I swear they didn't even try.
I foolishly paid $230 for this, but hey it's a lesson.

>>9192122
still enough time to make the gloves and some boot covers. It'll be good practice for making a full costume.

>>9192122
sewing in some moleskin lining on the top (particular over the nipples) and using some prosthetic adhesive is your best option to keep the puppies in place, though if you're not that savvy about applying chemicals to your tits, it's probably better to go with double-sided tape and/or spirit gum, which will be less secure, but still more than enough to keep you from falling out of your costume.

>>9192122
>$230
oh wow, thats a lot. Thats not even including the tail and ears, right? The tail is amazing.
You look good anon, hope it works out.

>>9192122
how the fuck is that tail going to stay in place, looks heavy

>>9192122
When I see you I'm going to ask for a hug, no homo. I used to cosplay Rachel back in the day.

>>9192243
Hahaha good question.
There is a hook on the base for a belt, so I'll need to figure that out, but the bend of the tail I'll use invisible thread, kinda like the stuff you find on dresses to hang them up, or something like fishing line but not fishing like obviously.
I'll attach the string holding the tail to my chest area under my crop top to hold it up.

Yu guys should stay the hell away from hellocosplay as well.
I guess they steal pics from somewhere because what you get is nothing like what you order.
I have great luck with eBay, but fuck all these cosplay website stores, they're the ones that screw you over.

>>9192532
I'm sticking to local dudes. Luckily enough Atlanta has a lot of talented folks, it can be pricey though.

Anyone here selling floor space or hotel or anything? My hotel plans just got fucked up

>>9193116
depends, who are you and do you murder people and ehats your budget. I got Waverly space.

I'm looking for space too. I'm looking for a room for myself though, how would that work out? I don't want to show up, get scammed, and then have no where to stay for a few days.

Expedia still has Marriott rooms for $89 a night.

Are we looking at the same Marriott? It is showing as $198/night.

It's there just a bit down on the page when you search for the Cobb Galleria area. I procrastinated on booking too so I was happy to find this.

>>9193952
Try clearing your cache anon!

>>9193960
>>9193961
I see it now, thanks! The problem is I only need it for the 28 and 29th which affects the price by a lot. My friend won't be getting there until the 30th and I'm staying with her.

>>9193960
how the fug

>>9193934
>>9193960
Anyone know if the Marriott has shuttles over to the con? I don't want to deal with parking.

>>9193968
parking at the con has never been an issue has it? I always past the offices without issue for the past 3 years. This is a suburb not Atlanta lol.

>>9193968
>>9193989
I've never actually gone before, I just assumed parking would be a hassle/expensive like most other cons.

>>9193994
>>9193989
I have never had trouble parking at or near AWA. Unlike a lot of other conventions the Cobb actually has plenty of parking nearby.

Still looking for a room at Waverly or Sheraton.

>>9193996
a room room or sleeping space?

Do rooms at the convention center ever get cancelled in the last week?

>>9194014
Room room.

>>9194021
Are you looking for Travela Wells on the fb board?

>>9193995
Can't say the same for next year with the new SunTrust Park being built.

>>9194236
Does georgia actually finish any construction they start? What about that statium?

>>9194277
MLB is very vague about the address of the new Braves stadium. It's said to be located at the intersection of I-75 and I-285, which is right where the Galleria is located. The planned finish date is in April. AWA occurs right before post-season. So if next year's AWA happens on a game day, parking is going to be absolute SHIT.

>>9194412
Oh my god....that will be horrible! I hope AWA looks into that, even if they have to move the date slightly to avoid something like that happening.

>>9194412
>>9194277
Vague?

Lol it's almost done and oh boy traffic is going to be even a bigger shitshow

Anyone know if there's going to be a lolita swap meet this year? Or where it would even be?

FYI, we will be meeting at reg on saturday for the /cgl/ meetup at the cheesecake factory. Last few years have had a good turnout and were a lot of fun! I'm thinking 4pm, anyone have times that work best?

>>9194977

AWA just posted in the yoyogi club begging for Lolitas to go to the tea. Interesting that this was NOT posted in the local comm. I was told that the ATL comm mods do not support this. They have a meet up elsewhere the day of the Tea.

I'm going as (brown)sonia on saturday and possibly sunday!

>>9194977
I'd be down, I take it they are okay with coming in cosplay right?

>>9194977
Aah shit, itabag meet is the same day later at night for dinner. What about Friday?

>>9195574
Not the person you are replying to but I'd probably be down for friday at four honestly. Looks like the Happy Hour specials reduce the costs of some of their food.

>cosplay done
>airline is a check
>hotel is a go

Who else is completely done here?

>>9195791
Well, my cosplay isn't completely done, but I'm an artist, so that isn't really my priority.

This will be the biggest con I have ever sold at, and I feel like I should be more nervous than I am, but for the first time, I actually feel like I'm ready for a big convention. I actually have all the crafts done and ready to AWA. I can't even fit more inventory in my car if I tried.

I feel like I'm ready, but very worried about something going wrong x.x

Anyone here ever get any shit form TSA for traveling with cosplay? Just realized some of my cosplay is kept together by metal wiring (wings specifically). Has anyone ever gotten shit from them about it.

ONE WEEK LEFT

How screwed are you?

>>9195791
just cut my last wig, now all I gotta do is pack everything.

>>9195915
Nevermind I am a dumbass forgot I could just shit shit to the hotel via USPS for cheaper and less hassel.

Time for a new thread?

>>9195952
You can do what? Please elaborate.

>>9195223
Fucking christ you Itas love to make shit up? they posted it was the last day to get tickets you delusional cunt

New thread: >>9196076

>>9195455
Of course, most of us will be in cosplay.

>>9194977
I will be there. Last year's meetup was fun!

>>9195223
this is a goddamn lie, the lolitas that aren't going to the tea party either think it's too pricey or don't like Meta. I wish I was going but I'm not bc I have to work, why do you guys have to start shit for no reason?
